+# v0.5 Question Priority Generalisation
+
+## Hypothesis
+
+The current deterministic unknown selector and graph-context question formulator should generalise across several decision types by selecting a foundational unknown before downstream implementation or pricing leaves.
+
+## Scenarios
+
+1. Should we hire another engineer?
+2. Should we replace the delivery vans?
+3. Should we launch in another country?
+4. Should we continue a project that is over budget?
+5. Should we introduce a paid support tier?
+
+## Results
+
+| Scenario                     | Selected unknown            | Strategy             | Pass/Fail |
+| ---------------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------- | --------- |
+| Hire another engineer        | `hire-success-criteria`     | `decision criterion` | Pass      |
+| Replace the delivery vans    | `van-reliability-threshold` | `decision criterion` | Pass      |
+| Launch in another country    | `country-value-threshold`   | `actor/customer`     | Pass      |
+| Continue over-budget project | `project-benefit-threshold` | `decision criterion` | Pass      |
+| Introduce paid support tier  | `support-value-threshold`   | `actor/customer`     | Pass      |
+
+## Repeated failure patterns
+
+Two repeated structural formulation failures appeared before the final pass:
+
+1. **Constraint language in surrounding graph context outranked node-local decision-threshold language** in more than one case.
+2. **Baseline language in surrounding graph context outranked node-local threshold language** in more than one case.
+
+Both failures affected formulation strategy, not deterministic unknown selection.
+
+## Code change made
+
+A small deterministic change was made in `lib/graph/question-formulator.js`:
+
+- prefer node-local `definition` language before broader criterion inference
+- prefer node-local `decision criterion` language before context-only `constraint` inference
+- only treat `baseline` or `constraint` as primary when the selected node itself carries that language, otherwise allow them as fallback strategies later
+
+No architecture, UI, persistence, prompt, scoring, additional model turns, or provider calls were added.
+
+## Remaining limitations
+
+- In two passing cases, the selector chose a threshold-style foundational node while the formulator still used an `actor/customer` strategy because related context strongly referenced customers or recipients.
+- This experiment is fixture-driven and deterministic; it is useful for regression protection, not scientific validation.
+- The suite exercises the production path without model calls, but it does not prove behaviour over arbitrary real-world graph structures.
